EXPAND NETWORKS AND RTO SOFTWARE DRIVE DOWN COST OF SERVER BASED COMPUTING ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE

Expand’s Boost In WAN Capacity And RTO’s Increase In Server Capacity Guarantee Optimal Server Based Computing Performance

ROSELAND, N.J., FEBRUARY 11, 2003 - Expand Networks, leader in WAN bandwidth optimization technology and RTO Software, leader in run time optimization solutions, today announced that the companies have teamed up to market network and server optimization technology to improve the performance of Server Based Computing infrastructures. "As users wait for the mythical "free and unlimited bandwidth" promised by utopian press reports, they face some hard choices on how to optimize increasingly congested Wide Area Network (WAN) bandwidth, given increasing demand and budget cutbacks," said Peter Firstbrook of META Group. “Before simply upgrading WAN links or adding more data centers to support growing requirement IT organizations can achieve significant savings by exploiting edge optimization solutions appropriate for their particular application/protocol mix.”" “Expand’s 100-400+% boost in WAN capacity combined with RTO’s 30-40% increase in server capacity will guarantee optimal performance and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) for Thin Client users without any overhauls in the existing IT infrastructure,” said, Ariel Shulman, vice president of business development at Expand Networks. “A combined solution from Expand and RTO reduces IT costs while increasing employee productivity.” “Our joint solutions will positively impact IT costs centers, not just through cost-savings but through cost cutting as well,” said Mark Winter, vice president of business development at RTO Software. “The additional capacity will permit link downgrades and server consolidation in environments over-provisioned for peak utilization.” Expand Networks ACCELERATORs and RTOSoft’s Tscale products are available immediately. About Expand Networks Expand Networks pioneered the development of bandwidth boosting appliances - the ACCELERATORs - which increase network capacity by 100 -400+%. The ACCELERATORs eliminate the need for costly WAN link upgrades, enabling quicker deployments of new applications to remote offices. Networked applications such as CRM, Email, ERP, Thin Client and XML increase the strain on scarce WAN resources, often hindering productivity. By removing repeat data patterns found in any type of traffic, the ACCELERATORs provide important bandwidth savings. The end-result is the decrease in network congestion, which in turn speeds up data transfers. Expand Networks allows enterprises to support more networked users, applications and services with fewer resources delivering a typical ROI of 3 to 9 months.
